Instruction. Jl5 5ss%

Report of the Superintendent of Public
Bt Instruction.
The seventeenth report Of the superin-
tendent Of public instruction is a pamphlet
Of seventy-six pages, including the official
reports of the University Of Dakota at Yer
million, and the State Normal school at
Madison. Eighty-three counties are in
cluded in the report, sixty-eight of which
are under the township system and fifteen
under the district system. The ,superin-
tendent has given much time and attention
to the study of what amendments were
needed to bring order out Of the chaotic
condition in which the schools are neces-
sarily found under the these mixed sys-
TENS, and and will present the result of his
study to the legislature in the form of a
bill for its consideration. Fifteen pages of
the report are devoted to the rehearsal of
some of these recommendations, the
adoption OF which he thinks the best inter
ests OF the educational! system make
imperative. A territorial board Of educa-
tion, consisting of three members, to be ap.
pointed by the governor blennially, is one
Of the most imOrtant suggestions; chang
ing the time of electing county superin-
tendents from November to June, to do
away WlCn pOuClca 'COmDlnatlOnS" as eX-
ist at present; no schools to be held in
the months of July and August, and the
establishment of the superintendent's Of
flee at the capital permanently, and the as
sistant superintendent to be stationed
there and be virtual assistant to the su-
perlntendent, are other valuable sugges-
tions that will meet universal approval.
Several pages are devoted to The dis
cussion OF the comparative workings of
the township and district systems with a
strong inclination to the latter, although the
superintendent closes the discussion saying
it is not his purpose to recommend the re-
peal of the township system, although re-
quested to do so by numerous county super
intendents. Another practical suggestion
IS the preparation and adoption of UNI
form territorial course of study. More
school money is wasted because Of the i'm
pairment of schools effective work by
the lack of a uniformity of classes than is
generally known. The statistical tables
are most valuable for comparison and ref
erence. The number of teachers employed
in 1876 was 5,055; the number of schools,
5000; the number ofchildren of school age,
1O3,S8S. Of which 1886 are enrolled as pu-
pills: 1851 900 was paid for teachers salaries
and the value of permanent school property
is over S2990000, which has increased from
less than $4,000 in 1877. Although there
is much room for improvement, Dakota
has much reason to be proud of her educa-
tiOnal opportunities,

The FARMERS have control of this leg
islature and with them are many others
who are earnestly disposed to more
equally distribute the cost of maintaining
the territorial government. The council
bills for revising the general revenue law
and for taxing car and fast freight COM
panies on their gross earnings indicate
that aggressive legislation will be had for
sitting the tax burden. The telegraph

Two bills have been introduced in the
Montana legislature to repeal the law i'm
posing licenses upon commercial travel
ers. Those who object to the law most
strenuously are the travelling men OF
Minneapolis and st. Paul. AS the license
is great source of revenue to the terri
tory, and as the representatives of the older
houses of Chicago,St. Louis and New York
do not enter any protests, many main.
tain the repeal should not be made.

IT IS interesting to note the ever in

The Grand Forks Herald publishes

The Grand Forks Herald publishes a
carefully prepared editorial headed can
Appeal for Statehood" which is one of
the ablest and most sensible claims for
Dakota's admission that has ever been
made. It bases it's argument almost
wholly upon statistics and explains it's
course for so doing inthe opening sentenc-
es as follows: ssIt is manifest to all calm
ly rejecting minds that, in the effort to
secure statehood for Dakota as we'll as
any other territory, nothing can be gained
by clustering rhetoric or pompous ex-
penditure of expletives upon the ''inalien-
able rights of mankind" We are con-
fronted by certain political and other sit
uations which render worse than useless
any parade of puny might or defiant in
dependence. It behooves us then with
wisdom to canvass the field; cognize the
true situation and appeal with facts to
the reason of men whom we should pre-
sumo to be fair-minded and not unwilling
to do simple justice in the way of public
duty. There are facts and reasons which
may be urged in favor of the admission
of Dakota and some other territories, in
such a manner as to appeal strongly to
the sense of right inherent in every true
representatives mind. That these should
be marshaled in the strongest and most
bipartisan light possible, no one can dis
pute, for that would be an appeal to
statesmen and not politicians"

The PROTEST against the threatened

1T seems that the democrats of Sioux
Falls have pooled their many candidate
issues and as body have requested the
appointment Of William Van Fps as q

road experience and the railroad interests
that are now centered in that city, it is
fair to conclude that their request is
most reasonable one.

HUMAN nature will assert itself. Visi-

because of the cxtortionate rates charged

Some collected from five to ten dollars

causes forfeiture of license.

Some Of the frisky elders among the

is, however, not very strong one.

SENATOR VEST was somewhat severe on
Allison, Sawyer and Mcmillan for their
action in asking the Secretary OF War to
send engineers to make an examination of
the situation regarding the construction OF
the st. Louis bridge. Vest accused the
three Senators OF acting in bad faith as to
the bill pending and sought by under
handed means to defeat the plan. The
Ordnance Department refused to send a
commission, whereupon the Senator urged
upon Endicott, who, knowing nothing
about public ofnees, readily consented.
Vest characterized the scheme of the Sena-
tors as unwarranted and not becoming
honorable and upright gentlemen. The re-
port of the engineers was called for by Vest
which will be submitted tomorrow The
report OF the engineers is adverse to the con-
struction of the bridge.
